Story Index

Glenn Lord came up with the title of "Restless Waters" for the untitled typescript, but then later came across a letter from REH to Tevis Clyde Smith, ca. February 1929 ("Salaam:/ Ancient English Balladel"), in which REH mentions a story he wrote titled "The Fear at the Window," and Glenn said he thought this might be the correct title.
